Late entry. No idea what amburana tastes like but I got strong cinnamon-y nose. Body was rich complex and flavorful.

This beer is a ton.. who… so much raisin and brown sugar.. very smooth for the ABV. Coats your mouth and the glass

Smell is raisin, fig and booze. Taste is smooth, syrupy. Cinnamon, brown sugar, amburana, oak.

I don't mind the amburana, but nowhere near as good as the first batch

MJK is back! Raisins, cinnamon, and booze. And the viscosity on this barleywine is perfect

Another stellar beer ruined by amburana barrels. Thick, viscous, sweet, raisins, prunes, dark fruit, Christmas spices. Whiskey barrels taken over buy amburana. No chocolate/vanillin detected. Strange acrid finish. Oof...

And because this is why I really wanted to make a stop in here…. Yeah, it’s $$$, but F*** me this is amazing! 😍

Chocolate, toffee, cinnamon, hint of raisin throughout great viscosity. Super sweet.
